I had the honor of my blog being reviewed today! I want to thank my good friend and cyber-son, Arjun Sharma for the wonderful praise that he gave to me. I am very humbled by it.

Arjun is a great writer in his own right. If you don’t already know his work, please stop by his blog, check out the review he did of mine and explore some of his work as well. It won’t be a waste of your time, I promise 🙂

We went to court last week for an emergency custody hearing on Sara (details at a later date – still under my gag order). The judge, in all fairness, ruled that Sara needed to be placed in a neutral home until our January final hearing.

So she is now staying with her sister, my eldest daughter. We will take our small victories as God sees fit to give them. She is happy enough with that outcome and seems to be getting along fine. Beings that it is only for a month, we can all celebrate the fact that she is safe and with people who love her and not in a foster home for Christmas.

And I, thank You Lord, am beginning to feel much better now. Not back to my norm quite but getting much closer. I wanted to thank everyone for the prayers and get well wishes, I truly do SO appreciate them!!
